With Novak Djokovic gradually stepping back as the last representative of the Big 3, an intense new rivalry emerges – Jannik Sinner against Carlos Alcaraz. In a blockbuster rematch set on Centre Court this Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will meet at the Wimbledon 2025 men’s singles final, just weeks after their epic French Open battle.
Although both are exceptional athletes, Sinner is frequently viewed as the underdog—not due to a lack of talent, but because Alcaraz has elevated his performance to astonishing new levels in the last three years.
This highly anticipated matchup features two of the top young talents in men’s tennis, both known for their explosive athleticism and all-court games. It promises to be a thrilling contest as they battle for the prestigious Wimbledon title.
